10 Movies You Could've Watched Instead Of Campaigning For The Snyder Cut

10. The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers

The Lord of the Rings films are like a fine wine - getting better almost every year. When compared to the CGI diatribe that was The Hobbit Trilogy, there is so much that holds up about the epic first trilogy that graced cinemas back in the early 2000's.

For (subjectively) the best film in the original trilogy - The Two Towers is in a way very much like Justice League. An evil dark lord is planning an invasion with a horde of ugly monsters, there's a magical object everyone is vying for, a powerful character thought to be dead comes back to life in a ridiculous way, and there's only three or four characters actually worth caring about.

While you can't watch one Lord of the Rings film without watching all of them, there is something to be said about the most grounded and darkest film in the series.

You might speed through the Merry & Pippin and marching Ent scenes, but the moment you see Aragorn and his buddies draw swords in the rain to defend Helms Deep, your fists are pumping as Legolas and Gimli trade scores for who got the most kills.
